“They say nothing lasts forever but they're just scared it will last longer than they can love it.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“Because the sunset, like survival, exists only on the verge of its own disappearing. To be gorgeous, you must first be seen, but to be seen allows you to be hunted.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”

“Catão, que não teve estátua no Capitólio. Vinham os estrangeiros a Roma, viam as estátuas daqueles varões famosos, e perguntavam pela de Catão. Esta pergunta era a maior estátua de todas. Aos outros pôs-lhes estátua o senado, a Catão o mundo.”
― António Vieira, Os Sermões do Padre António Vieira
